Go inside the custom French chateau in Scottsdale listed for $8 million

Ever dreamed of living in a French chateau but don’t want to leave the Valley? If so, there's an 8,438-square-foot mansion in Scottsdale that could be the perfect fit. Just be prepared to pay nearly $8 million for your dream to come true.

Listed for $7,995,000 and tucked away just south of 64th Street and Camelback Road, this five-bedroom, eight-bath mansion features imported French materials including roof tiles, antique oak floors and walls.

“A lot of the materials came from France,” said Robert Joffe, the home's listing agent and head of The Joffe Group. “The owner took about three years to build the place. He went to France and bought a lot of things. He bought a building and used the roof from that building. He bought a cigar factory and used the wood.”

Beyond the Francophile parts, the home has a detached 787-square-foot guesthouse, a pool house with a beer tap, a 10-car garage with auto lifts, and eight fireplaces. Also included is a wine cellar, gym and sauna, four fountains and a pool.

At its current price, the house costs $947.95 per square foot, and property taxes were $18,666.2 in 2013. The sprawling estate sits on a 41,208-square-foot lot, and landscaping was crafted by the Berghoff Design Group. Mark Candelaria designed the home and Nance Construction built it in 2009.

Despite the steep price, Joffe said the unique design and aesthetic are worth it.

“It is like a masterpiece,” he said of the home at 6415 E. Exeter Blvd. in Scottsdale. “It’s unlike anything else that you’ve seen, especially in Arcadia. There’s nothing like it.”
